Monitoring energy market dynamics in turbulent times

Oil and energy markets are virtually inseparable from geopolitical events. From the multiple oil crises of the 1970s, the Gulf wars, 9/11, and now the latest Russian invasion in Ukraine, energy markets are once again being shaped by shifting geopolitical realities. The effect of changing supply dynamics, economic sanctions, and shifting foreign policy objectives are hitting businesses and consumers through commodity price rises, inflation throughout the economy and all the resulting uncertainty.

But, what dynamics lie behind this? And, how do they compare with the last period of significant price volatility, in 2014? We've used our technology platform to conduct machine-learning analysis into the current market volatility, and compared this with an analysis of the global discussion from 2014.
